So, yeah :] from the title itself: this is a topic about objects, food, people - everything in general that makes you all ticklish inside! It can be anything really, as for me, I find these things quite (okay, very) funny:
*Horror movies -Haha. I can't stop laughing inside or just burst into laughter when I watch or tell horror movies/stories. Haha. I'd always invite my two best friends to watch a horror movie with me in the theater but they have to back out because well, they're scared. However, I don't think it's that scary...or maybe...maybe...because I'm so scared instead of crying or screaming like a frantic lol, I go madly laughing. Really, I go madly laughing. I don't have a clue why but watching horror/slasher/gore movies never fail to make me tickle.
*Violence -OK. I know that this is a major tick-off to many people. And it ticks me off, too. But I can't help myself laughing like an idiot when I hear something as violent as a guy going on a rampant massacre on this family and this and that. I feel bad of course (who doesn't?) and annoyed and serious of the matter, but somehow this funny feeling - ticklish feeling always sort to appear. That's why when a someone dies who is a relative or a relative of a close friend I'd always leave the room because I'd feel real terrible if I suddenly chuckle or giggle or laugh at that kind of situation, which is awfully rude, I think.
*Bad -All right! Fine, I'll admit it and stop here. The badness in this world makes me all ticklish inside in general. Though, I may only put if off aside and ignore of it, I find it to be wrong. But nonetheless, I really do nothing about it and just often excuse myself when I have to hear such matters to avoid falling into a laugh-a-ton. So, yeah; maybe I need help after all.
How about you, guys? What are things in this world or just simply think of anything that makes you laugh. |

The tv show Supernatural. Eric Kripke is nuts and Jensen Ackles has great wit. I'm usually cracking up at one of Dean's quips hehe.
As much as I like Paranormal State and as sweet as Ryan Buell is, the whole knee-jerk ZOMG IT'S THE DARK LORD ATTACKING reaction is HILARIOUS. It's not possible for ALL of the hauntings to be like, the embodiment of all evil or something, ya know?
Makes for great spoof material though. |

The endless stream of foster kittens coming through keeps me giggling; they wake up in a whole new world every day!
Blessed are the PURR in heart! |

My dog is one of the funniest animals on the planet. She is always doing stupid things that have me rolling on the floor laughing. Here's one example:
Imagine that she is repeatedly rolling herself over on her back, then off the couch, then jumps back up on the couch and starts flipping over on her back again, growling at herself the whole time.
Other things that make me laugh...
- My nephew
- Baby pigs
- Baby chicks
- Baby anything, really. Baby animals just fill me with giggles, so do baby humans.
- America's Funniest Home Videos. I can watch that for days straight and never get bored.
- Whose Line Is it Anyway? They show reruns several nights a week at midnight on ABC Family, and I always watch. I would marry Wayne Brady in a heartbeat!

hey pauline!
haha, all of that stuff makes me laugh too! but in school... i learned to control feelings, so i am rolling on the floor laughing hysterically in my mind.
my dog makes me laugh all the time... her 3 inch tall legs cant move her very well. XD she is a clutz and gets herself into anything and everything that she has no chance at getting out by herself. she is a shih tzu and the runt of her litter, so i still want to call her a puppy... but she is not.
my mind. ya, my mind. it likes to run imposable scinarios through my head and sometimes they gust make me laugh uncontrolably. thats why i dont have many friends, they think im weird. 
sphenicus demersus, (penguins) pygoscelis papua in general. sorry about the big words, but i want to be an ornithologist, that means learning all the big, impressive scientific names.
so ya, penguins make me giggle. pygosclis papua are a breed of penguin called gentoo, they look really cool! and funny!
theres much more, but i fear it would never end.
hugs!
teeco
he was like  and she was like and i was like  |

I can't write the stuff I find funny on the dyscalculia forum, hehe. I have a twisted sense of humor. Very dark and dirty, in the over the top ironic sense.
But I also enjoy mistakes a lot. Specifically, spelling mistakes and choice of words that just makes everything twisted in a second. I'm not one of those people that make fun of dyslexics (duh!), I just enjoy what the written and spoken word can do in itself.

I'm in love with John Fugelsang. Well his act! Funny man, albeit very very very political outside of AFV. That's what I prefer in a comedian though. I've spoken to him a few times! About... Oh I can't remember, our shared love of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen I think, and Denmark because his family origins here. I stalked him on facebook, hehe.
Also loooove Bob Saget. Full House is my secret guilty pleasure / obsession - And MAN, he's become dirty in his older days. Love it. The contrast.
Yeah. Contrast. I guess that's what I find funny.
Also - Craig Ferguson. Conan O'Brien. Dylan Moran. <3

I don't like humour that is explained to death, it must be subtle for me to laugh.
My son is very funny. He says some wonderful and very clever things.
Monty Python's Flying Circus is a favourite of mine and I love the reruns that have been on tv during the holidays.
I also laugh at the strange ways I hurt myself, such as a deep cut in my finger from a comb in my pocket
I'm a violin so stop trying to make me sound like a piano!!
Dyscalculia doesn't bother me as much as all the nasty accessories that came with it |

I have a somtimes peculiar sense of humour in that odd things amuse me. On new year's day we had to drive Matt's dad to a job (stock taking at a golf club ) as he can't drive himself at the moment due to a bad leg infection. Apparently we had to dress smartly with it being a golf club, no jeans or trainers, and no mobile phone use allowed in the club house. It was an all day job so we had lunch there too.
I really felt like I was stuck in a timewarp around 1985 or so, the building, the interior decor and even the menu seemed to be so naff and cheesy What really made me chuckle though is that a place that considers itself to be so highbrow that jeans/trainers are not allowed, still serves chicken'n'chips with tomato sauce in sachets hows that for posh? LOL
Oh and later in the day other customers turned up for lunch wearing jeans and trainers anyway, so much for the dress code!

Kirsty - Talking about things that make me laugh... I mean this in the nicest possible way, but the way Brits speak cracks me up. I just had to do a mental translation of your post to figure out what "trainers", "naff", "chips", and "tomato sauce in sachets" meant. I was like "Tomato sauce in sachets... in sachet... oh she means little packets of ketchup!" Then I started really laughing out loud. I figured on my own that chips are french fries and trainers are sneakers, but I had to do an Urban Dictionary search of "naff" to figure out what that meant. One of the more amusing perks of frequenting an international forum!

I just asked my friend this noon if she had sneakers I can borrow. She asked what and I said, "Sneakers." And she replied, "The chocolate?" Lmao. |

I cant write what makes me laugh as I also have a very dark, sick, twisted, morbid humour.
Don't annoy me, I am running out of places to hid the bodies |

Pauline,... LOL. I had to read it three times, though, before I figured it out. And I might still not have figured it out, had I not thought of the fact that you're in the Phillipines and how the vowel sounds can come off differently. - jus' |
